Chicken of the Sea Salmon Fillet in a Honey BBQ Glaze

By: Ann H | Mar 20, 2007

After having such a positive experience with the Chicken of the Sea Salmon Fillet in the Mandarin Orange Glaze [read the review], I was anxious to try another variety, so I chose the Salmon Fillet in a Honey BBQ Glaze.

BBQ sauce is not something that I relate to salmon, so as I opened the "flavor-fresh pouch" and slid the salmon out, I was slightly apprehensive to say the least. The so-called "Honey BBQ Glaze" DID NOT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE PICTURE (my biggest pet peeve about product merchandising)! Honestly, the glaze reminded me of the gelatinous, lumpy gravy that they serve in really bad buffet restaurants.

I nuked the salmon for 40 seconds to heat the fillet. A word to the wise when heating the salmon: COVER IT! The BBQ Glaze has the innate ability to splatter onto every square inch of the microwave if left uncovered while cooking! Had the salmon been deliciously good, I could have overlooked the jelly-like BBQ sauce. However, this was not the case. The BBQ Glaze was very sweet and left a funny aftertaste in my mouth. The actual fillet was... okay, and if there had been none of this Honey BBQ Glaze, I dare say it would have been quite good.

Nutritionally, the Chicken of the Sea Salmon Fillet in a Honey BBQ Glaze has 200 calories, 3 grams of total carbohydrates, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 38% of the RDA for sodium (920 mg), 25 grams of protein and 18 grams of total carbohydrates including 13 grams of sugars and no fiber.

I was really hoping that this product would be as good as it's Mandarin Glazed kin but I guess there can only be so much of a good thing. So, if you ever have a hankering for some BBQ glazed salmon, I would not get this product. Instead, I would recommend just buying the plain Chicken of the Sea smoked salmon fillet and add your own BBQ sauce.
